| 2026 | GPTKB v1.5: A Massive Knowledge Base for Exploring Factual LLM KnowledgeabstractLanguage models are powerful artifacts, yet their factual knowledge is still poorly understood, and inaccessible to ad-hoc browsing and scalable statistical analysis. This demonstration introduces GPTKB v1.5, a densely interlinked 100-million-triple knowledge base (KB) built for $14,000 from GPT-4.1, using the GPTKB methodology for massive-recursive LLM knowledge materialization. This demo focuses on three use cases: (1) link-traversal-based LLM knowledge exploration, (2) SPARQL-based structured LLM knowledge querying, (3) comparative exploration of the strengths and weaknesses of LLM knowledge. Massive-recursive LLM knowledge materialization is a groundbreaking opportunity both for the systematic analysis of LLM knowledge, as well as for automated KB construction.

| 2025 | Enabling LLM Knowledge Analysis via Extensive MaterializationabstractLarge language models (LLMs) have majorly advanced NLP and AI, and next to their ability to perform a wide range of procedural tasks, a major success factor is their internalized factual knowledge.Since Petroni et al. (2019), analyzing this knowledge has gained attention.However, most approaches investigate one question at a time via modest-sized pre-defined samples, introducing an "availability bias" (Tversky and Kahneman, 1973) that prevents the analysis of knowledge (or beliefs) of LLMs beyond the experimenter's predisposition.To address this challenge, we propose a novel methodology to comprehensively materialize an LLM's factual knowledge through recursive querying and result consolidation.Our approach is a milestone for LLM research, for the first time providing constructive insights into the scope and structure of LLM knowledge (or beliefs).As a prototype, we extract a knowledge base (KB) comprising 101 million relational triples for over 2.9 million entities from GPT-4o-mini.We use this KB to exemplarily analyze GPT-4o-mini's factual knowledge in terms of scale, accuracy, bias, cutoff and consistency, at the same time.Our resource is accessible at https://gptkb.org.

| 2023 | CoQEx: Entity Counts ExplainedabstractFor open-domain question answering, queries on entity counts, such ashow many languages are spoken in Indonesia, are challenging. Such queries can be answered through succinct contexts with counts:estimated 700 languages, and instances:Javanese and Sundanese. Answer candidates naturally give rise to a distribution, where count contexts denoting the queried entity counts and their semantic subgroups often coexist, while the instances ground the counts in their constituting entities. In this demo we showcase the CoQEx methodology (Count Queries Explained) [5,6], which aggregates and structures explanatory evidence across search snippets, for answering user queries related to entity counts [4]. Given a entity count query, our system CoQEx retrieves search-snippets and provides the user with a distribution-aware prediction prediction, categorizes the count contexts into semantic groups and ranks instances grounding the counts, all in real-time. Our demo can be accessed athttps://nlcounqer.mpi-inf.mpg.de/. Shrestha Ghosh, Simon Razniewski, Gerhard Weikum |

| 2022 | Answering Count Queries with Explanatory EvidenceabstractA challenging case in web search and question answering are count queries, such as"number of songs by John Lennon''. Prior methods merely answer these with a single, and sometimes puzzling number or return a ranked list of text snippets with different numbers. This paper proposes a methodology for answering count queries with inference, contextualization and explanatory evidence. Unlike previous systems, our method infers final answers from multiple observations, supports semantic qualifiers for the counts, and provides evidence by enumerating representative instances. Experiments with a wide variety of queries show the benefits of our method. To promote further research on this underexplored topic, we release an annotated dataset of 5k queries with 200k relevant text spans. Shrestha Ghosh, Simon Razniewski, Gerhard Weikum |

| 2021 | On the Limits of Machine Knowledge: Completeness, Recall and Negation in Web-scale Knowledge BasesabstractGeneral-purpose knowledge bases (KBs) are an important component of several data-driven applications. Pragmatically constructed from available web sources, these KBs are far from complete, which poses a set of challenges in curation as well as consumption. In this tutorial we discuss how completeness, recall and negation in DBs and KBs can be represented, extracted, and inferred. We proceed in 5 parts: (i) We introduce the logical foundations of knowledge representation and querying under partial closed-world semantics. (ii) We show how information about recall can be identified in KBs and in text, and (iii) how it can be estimated via statistical patterns. (iv) We show how interesting negative statements can be identified, and (v) how recall can be targeted in a comparative notion. Simon Razniewski, Hiba Arnaout, Shrestha Ghosh, Fabian M. Suchanek |

| 2015 | Achieving Data Survivability and Confidentiality in Unattended Wireless Sensor NetworksabstractIn Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) the nodes are subjected to hostile environment for sensing critical data. Due to the unattended nature of the network the sink is not always present. Hence, the nodes in the network are required to function in a distributed way in order to ensure Data Survivability and Data Confidentiality. In this work we address these two issues. We have proposed algorithm (s) to ensure Data Survivability by encryption and data replication. We propose a simple scheme for key management which ensures confidentiality by sharing the key among various nodes in the network so that the adversary cannot read the data by compromising a node in the network. We have compared our scheme with the existing ones, both mathematically and by simulations. Analysis shows that our scheme performs better in terms of overheads and efficiency.
